    why hydroponics?

    It's easier (my opinion) I started growing hydro, never gave dirt a thought. Why deal with the mess and mixing and watering. I did a ebb and flow set up because I travel. I just got back from a 5 day trip, my plants doubled in size, they were not checked on for 6 days. I run 2 cabinets, planned...

    I dont have a cool tube and I grow in a cabinet. You can touch the end of the bulb but the center is to hot. It depends on your set up as to what you need to cool it. I have a 4 inch axial fan blowing on the bulb and a 4 inch inline fan exchanging air in the cabinet, it runs in the high 70's to...

    Hey Nat, I checked out that link, they look expensive if I'm right with the conversion rate. Also, this is something that was posted on a CMH thread from another site. I'm not sure if helps or clarifies anything but, honestly, I was only thinking about where I am, not around the world. I am...

    No offense taken, we are all trying to learn. I've used the bulb through a full grow at this point, I'm not sure what the spectrum issue is supposed to cause but I haven't seen any problems. There is a number of people growing with them now, Ive seen grows where larger growers used both HPS and...

    Yeah, that cab is a pretty cool design, Thanks:mrgreen: As for the plants being "ok at best"...... I hate to kill your credibility man but this is what was already said about them a few days ago: "Nice grow! Bummer about the high ratio of males—luck of the draw sometimes. Like the...

    I just didn't want to be the only one out there to bring it up..... I don't know about the newer MH blub, post up whatever you have about them. But if you want to compare, compare 'em bulb for bulb don't forget about Flowering, Heat, UVB output and Cost. Are better for more than just vegging?

    Looks to me like the pissing contest is over. Last week I pm'ed a bunch of those people from eariler in the thread letting them know my pics were up, as you can see, none of them have anything to say anymore. They thought I was trying to sell them light bulbs, I wasn't. I'm not in the lighting...

    Clones turning yellow/not growing

    No fertilizer, they turned yellow because they are rooting. Next time use a rooting hormone and trim the leaves. I always cut the clone at a 45 degree angle and gently "shave" the stem all the way around.
